At lunchtime it’s crucial for people to get to the food trucks as quickly as possible. The building is represented by a graph G = (V,E) where each room, landing, or other location is represented by a vertex and each corridor or stairway is represented by an edge. Each corridor has associated capacity c, meaning that at most c people can pass through the corridor at once. Traversing a corridor f...

Vol. 216 No. 2 305–315 https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201610042 Introduction Tissue physical properties depend on the cells that make the tissue and also seem to be affected by tissue use. For example, muscle, cartilage, and bone, when suitably exercised, generate or resist mechanical forces that can be many times the weights of these tissu...

During embryogenesis the sea urchin early pluteus larva differentiates 40-50 neurons marked by expression of the panneural marker synaptotagmin B (SynB) that are distributed along the ciliary band, in the apical plate and pharyngeal endoderm, and 4-6 serotonergic neurons that are confined to the apical plate. Development of all neurons has been shown to depend on the function of Six3. Using a c...

Infra-patellar fat pad cysts are an uncommon type of intra-articular ganglia. We report a case of a young woman with a painful little mass in the anterior aspect of the left knee. Ultrasound revealed a multiloculate cyst, that was initially drained with a spinal needle. Four months later, she had a recurrence of symptoms and a ultrasound guided aspiration was performed. Cytological examination ...

The Commission of the European Communities (CEC) is just working out a new directive in order to regulate the agricultural reuse of sewage sludge. This new regulation will also effect a “special case” – sludge usage in a mountainous environment – which will be discussed in this paper. Three reuse sites at small wastewater treatment plants of mountain refuges at altitudes more than 2,000 m a.s.l...
